The moment the two words "elope" came out, Kang Lin's eyes were almost filled with stars. The scholar and ghost girl's sad and beautiful love story was about to happen to him.
Kang Lin, this thousand-year-old ghost, had the wisdom of a young girl who had just fallen in love with someone. Without any hesitation, she agreed shyly.
The two of them had agreed that they would leave Wei Guo in the middle of the night tomorrow, and that they would love each other ever since.
By midnight of the second day, Kang Lin had already arrived at Li De's study room. He was full of joy as he waited for Liddy to arrive. However, he didn't manage to do so until the next day.
While she was panicking, an old man came to her door. The old man was at the middle stage of Core Formation and was not afraid of Kang Lin.
The old man spoke bluntly. If he wanted to release Li Dide, then Kang Lin had to do something for him.
If Kang Lin didn't agree, his disciple would kill Li Dide. The old man was going to fight to the death with Kang Lin.
As soon as Kang Lin heard about her lover's situation, the old man immediately kneeled down and begged the old man to let Li Di De go.
The old man chuckled and said that as long as Kang Lin helped him concoct a batch of pills, he would let Li Di De go.
Kang Lin had no choice but to agree and followed the old man to an underground chamber. In the middle of the secret chamber stood a huge bronze cauldron, carved with green-faced, fang-toothed ghosts.
The old man took out a dozen or so spiritual medicines and instructed Kang Lin to put them into the cauldron. Kang Lin was so anxious that she did not even think about it. She immediately picked up the elixir and flew into the cauldron.
Unexpectedly, with a 'bang', the old man had actually sealed the bronze cauldron tightly, trapping Kang Lin inside.
Kang Lin was shocked. She hurriedly channeled her Ghost Energy, trying to escape from the Bronze Cauldron. However, the bronze cauldron was filled with restrictions that were specifically designed to restrain spectral cultivators.
She was like a crazed wild beast, scurrying in all directions and colliding with the cauldron, but the cauldron did not budge at all.
The old man chuckled and said, "Save your energy." With your cultivation, it's impossible for you to escape from my Fierce Demon Cauldron. Be obedient and let me refine you into a treasured pellet! "
As he spoke, the old man ignited a fierce pill fire, and the temperature of the cauldron rose abruptly. The ghosts inscribed on the bronze cauldron wriggled their mouths and howled, as if they had been resurrected.
The terrible heat roasted her like a snowman in a furnace. The soul slowly began to melt, and the surrounding seemed to be pierced by ten thousand arrows.
The ghost aura around his body began to dissipate as his cultivation continued to drop. Kang Lin's mind was blurry, and she knew that her soul was about to break apart.
On her deathbed, she pleaded with the old Taoist to let him go. The old man laughed maniacally when he heard this. "What an infatuated ghost girl. That Li Di De will soon become my precious son-in-law. How could I possibly harm him?!"
Those words were like a thunderclap that exploded in Kang Lin's ears. Her mind was blank, and her expression was as if she had lost her soul.
At this moment, Li Dede's voice came from outside the cauldron, "Honorable Father-in-law, please don't make fun of your son-in-law."
Before Kang Lin could react, the old man then said, "Your little lover is about to be refined by me. Aren't you sad at all?"
"Of course not! I actually really hate this ghost girl! Humans and ghosts have different paths, but they always dream of accompanying me.
Kang Lin's heart was as dead as ashes. The pain in her heart had already made her soul unable to feel anything. As it turned out, all the vows were fake. Two bloody tears fell from Kang Lin's eyes.
Li Dede tried to curry favor with him. "Lord Father-in-law, if refining this ghost girl into a Mysterious Yin Dan can cure Ke'er's strange illness, then when can Ke'er and I get married?"
The old man said calmly, "As long as my beloved daughter recovers, all of you can get married at any time."
So, her beloved was trying to kill him to save another woman!
